B A#
I said I wanted thin mints
E F#
And you said you knew a guy
B G#m
You showed up with a boombox
E F#
And stars in your eyes
B A#
Who knew cuddling on trampolines
E F#
Could be so reckless?
B G#m
We bonded over Black Eyed Peas
E F#
And complicated exes
E
Fell so deeply into it
F#7
It was all so innocent
Chorus:
B
Now I'm a homewrecker
I'm a slut
A
I got death threats filling up semi-trucks
E
Tell me who I am
E
Guess I don't have a choice
Em
All because I liked
B
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
Amaj7
I'm a rebound gettin' round stealin' from the young
E
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
Em
All because I liked a boy
B
Ooh, oh
Verse 2:
B A#
I'm not catastrophizing
E F#
Everything's derailing
B G#m
Was only tryna hold you close
E F#
While your heart was failing
B G#m
It's not internet illusion
E F#
Just two kids going through it
B G#m
You said I'm too late to be your first love
E F#7
But I'll always be your favorite
Chorus:
B B
Now I'm a homewrecker
I'm a slut
A A
I got death threats filling up semi-trucks
E
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
Em B
All because I liked a boy
B
And all of this for what?
Amaj7
When everything went down
We'd already broken up
E
Please, tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
Em
All because I liked a boy
B A# E F#
